Machine Design
The subject Machine Deisgn is the creation of new and better
machines and improving the existing ones. A new or better
machine is one which is more economical in the overall cost of
production and operation.
The process of design is a long and time consuming one. From
the study of existing ideas, a new idea has to be conceived. The
idea is then studied keeping in mind its commercial success and
given shape and form in the form of drawings.
In the preparation of these drawings, care must be taken of the
availability of resources in money, in men and in materials
required for the successful completion of the new idea into an
actual reality.
In designing a machine component, it is necessary to have a
good knowledge of many subjects such as Mathematics,
Engineering mechanics, Strength of Materials, Theory of
Machines, Workshop Processes and Engineering Drawing.

Stress:
The internal resistance of force per unit area is called stress.
σ =P/A
Where P = Load or force acting on the body
A = Cross- sectional area of the body
Strain:
The rate of change of deformation (or) It’s the ratio of change in
dimension to the original dimension.

TYPES OF STRESSES AND
STRAINS
Tensile Stress: The stress induced in a body, when subjected to two
equal and opposite pulls as result of which there is an increase in
length, is known as tensile stress. The ratio of increase in length to
the original length is known as tensile strain.

Tensile stress σ = Resisting force = P

Original length l
Compressive Stress
The stress induced in a body, when subjected to two equal
and opposite pushes as a result of which there is a
decrease in length of the body, is known as compressive
stress. The ratio of decrease in length to the original length
is known as compressive strain.

Shear Stress:
The stress induced in a body, when subjected to two equal
and opposite forces which are acting tangentially across
the resisting section as a result of which the body tends to
shear off across the section, is known as shear stress. The
corresponding strain is known as shear strain.

 FACTOR OF SAFETY AND
LATERAL STRAIN
FACTOR OF SAFETY:
It is defined as the ratio of the ultimate stress to the working stress
of the material.
Factor of Safety = Ultimate Stress
Working Stress
LATERAL STRAIN:
The strain at right angles to the direction of applied load is known as
lateral strain.
Lateral Strain = Increase or Decrease in Lateral Dimension
Original Lateral Dimension
Modulus of Elasticity (Young’s Modulus (E):
According to Hooke’s law, the stress in a material is proportional to the
strain upto the elastic limit. Therefore within the elastic limit, the ratio of
the axial stress to the corresponding axial strain is found to be a constant.
This constant is called Modulus of Elasticity or Young’s Modulus. It is
denoted by E.
Modulus of Elasticity or Young’s Modulus = Axial Stress
Axial Strain
E= 
Modulus of Rigidity or Shear Modulus (G): 
The ratio of shear stress to the corresponding shear strain is found to be a
constant upto the elastic limit of the material. This constant is called
Modulus of Rigidity or Shear Modulus of the material. It is denoted by G.
Modulus of Rigidity or Shear Modulus = Shear Stress = G =
Shear Strain q

Poisson’s Ratio (μ) or (1/m):
It has been experimentally found, that if a body is stressed within its
elastic limit, the lateral strain bears a constant ratio to the linear
strain. Mathematically,
Lateral strain = A constant
Linear strain

This constant is known as poisson’s ratio and is denoted by 1/m or μ.

Strain Energy (or) Resilence:

When a body is loaded with in the elastic limit the work done on the
body is stored in the form of energy . The strained body is now
capable of doing some external work on removal of the load. The
energy stored in the body due to internal strain is called strain energy
or resilience.
Strain energy = (σ2/2E) ×A×l------------- N.mm
It states that, “ Within elastic limit the stress induced in the
material is directly proportional to strain”.

EXTENSION/STRAIN
•Point P: Proportional Limit: Within Proportional Limit stress is directly
proportional to strain. Hence the material will regain its original shape after
unloading.
The stress corresponding to the load is known as Limit of Proportionality.
•Point E represents the elastic limit. In the region PE, the stress is not
proportional to strain. It means the stress strain diagram is not a straight line.
•Any loading beyond point E, will cause permanent deformation. The stress
corresponding to the load at E is called at Elastic Limit.
•Yield Stress (Point Y) :The loading beyond E causes extension much larger
than the extensions observed earlier. The material yields to a greater extent
and the stress corresponding to the load at Y is termed as Yield Stress
•Beyond Y, a much smaller increase in the load causes considerable
extension and the materials is said to be semi plastic mode.
• At U, the material yields at a particular point and a neck is
formed there. The stress corresponding to that load at U is
called maximum stress (Ultimate stress)
• Beyond U, the extension governed by the time of loading.
The load required to cause extension is smaller than the load
at M.
•The area of cross section is considerable reduced.
• The elongation continues till the material breaks at B.
•The stress corresponding to the load at B is called Breaking
stress.

Torsional shear stress
 When a machine member is subjected to the action
of two equal and opposite couples acting in parallel
planes, then the machine member is said to be subjected to
torsion.
 The stress set up by torsion is known as torsional
shear stress.
Consider a shaft fixed at one end and subjected to a
torque (T) at the other end.
As a result of this torque every cross-section of the shaft
is subjected to torsional shear stress.

Impact and shock loading
The load acting on any machine component can be of either of
these two types
1. Gradual load
2. Suddenly applied (or) Impact (or) Shock load.
Gradual load:
Gradual load is one which, goes on increasing over a
period of time till the maximum value is reached.
Suddenly applied (or) Impact (or) Shock load:
Impact (or) shock load which is applied suddenly (or)
with some initial velocity.
Ex: Punching presses, Hammer
Principal Stress
Principal plane is a plane in which the shear
stress is zero, and the direct stresses acting
along these planes are known as principal
stress.
When shear stress is also acting in addition we
have to find out maximum and minimum
principal stresses.
Eccentric loading
An external load, whose line of action is
parallel but does not coinside with the
centroidal axis of the machine component, is
known as an eccentric load (P).
The distance between the centroidal axis of
the machine component and the eccentric load
is called eccentricity.
It is generally denoted by e.

 When a machine is to be made in several sizes with different powers or capacities, it is
necessary to decide what capacities will cover a certain range efficiently with minimum number
of sizes.
 For example, a company want to manufacture seven different models of electric motors ranging
from 0.25 HP to 5 HP to cater to the need of different customers.
 Preferred numbers are used to specify the ‘sizes’ of the product in these cases.

 Aesthetic Considerations in Machine Design
When there are a number of products in the market, having the same qualities of efficiency, durability and
cost, the customer will naturally attracted towards the most appealing product.

The external appearance is an important feature, which not only gives grace and luster to the product but
also dominates the sale in market.

Automobiles Household Appliances Audio Visual Equipments

The job of an Industrial Designer is to create new forms & shapes, which are
Industrial Design aesthetically pleasing.

The external appearance of the products is a cumulative effects of number of factors :

Form Step Colour Surface finish & Tolerances Materials Manufacturing Methods
Stream
Taper
Shear
Sculpture

Relationship between Functional requirement & Appearance of the Product

 In many cases, functional requirements result in shapes, which are aesthetically pleasing. The evolution of
the streamlined shape of the boeing is the result of studies in aerodynamics for effortless speed.
 Chromium plating on the household appliances is for corrosion resistance rather than for pleasing
appearance

same value of tensile or vice versa are known as
completely reversed or cyclic stresses.
The stresses which vary from a minimum value to a
maximum value of same nature is called fluctuating
stresses.

nominal size.
Ex: 2000..00004

Bilateral tolerance:
When the tolerance is allowed on both sides of the
nominal size.
0.002
Ex:200.002

Zero line:
It is a straight line corresponding to the basic size. The deviations
are measured from this line.
Upper deviation:
It is the algebraic difference between the maximum size and
basic size. The upper deviation of a hole is represented by a
symbol ES (Ecart Superior) and of a shaft, it is represented by es.
Lower deviation:
It is the algebraic difference between the minimum size and basic
size. The lower deviation of a hole is represented by a symbol EI
(Ecart Inferior) and of a shaft, it is represented by ei.

Actual deviation:
It is the algebraic difference between in actual
size and the corresponding basic size.

Mean deviation:
It is the arithmetical mean between the upper
and lower deviations.
 Fits
The degree of tightness or looseness between the two mating parts
is known as a fit of the parts.
Types of fits:
1. Clearance fit
2. Interference fit
3. Transition fit
Clearance fit:
The difference between the sizes of the hole and the shaft before
assembly. The difference must be positive.
Interference fit:
The arithmetical difference the sizes of the hole and shaft, before
assembly. The difference must be negative.

Clearance fit:
 In a clearance fit, the
difference between the minimum
size of a hole and the maximum
size of the shaft is known as
minimum clearance.
 The difference between the
maximum size of a hole and the
maximum size of the shaft is
called maximum clearance.
 The clearance fits may be slide fit,
easy sliding fit, running fit, slack
running fit and loose running fit.

Interference fit:
In an Interference fit, the
tolerance zone of the hole is
entirely below the tolerance
zone of the shaft.
Transition fit:
In a transition fit, the
tolerance zones of hole and
shaft over lap.
Basis of limit system
Hole basis system:
When the hole is kept as a
constant member and
different fits are obtained by
varying the shaft size.
Shaft basis system:
When the shaft is kept as a
constant member and
different fits are obtained by
varying the hole size.
